WMS Beneficiary Management System

Beneficiary-side instrumentation for pensions and social protection.

Working PrototypeNDPIV Human Capital Development

The problem

Uganda's pension and social-protection administrators are well-equipped on the contributor side but under-instrumented on the beneficiary side. Claim lifecycle, dependant tracking, payment cadence, and life-event reconciliation rely heavily on manual document handling. The Auditor General has flagged delayed claim processing and ghost-beneficiary risks across annual reports.

The solution

Beneficiary registration with NIN linkage, claim-lifecycle workflow (initiation → verification → approval → disbursement), dependant tracking, payment cadence enforcement, and life-event reconciliation integrated with NIRA. Mobile-money + bank channel disbursement adapters.
